Hello Everyone,
I recently constructed my building in eQuest and with it, one of the things
I would like to do is figure out how much energy is used when abiding by the
criteria of LEED EQ credit 3.2. 14,000 cubic feet of outside air must be
provided while maintaining the building at 60 degrees F and RH of no higher
than 60%. The systems would be on for 3-4 days and I was thinking of
simulating it during the spring sometime. Does anyone have any ideas to go
about this? Thank you for your help.

On the "Project & Site" tab, under "Simulation Options" where it says
"Entire Year" you can set the start and end dates of your simulation. The
default is Jan 1 to Dec 31. If you are going to simulate less than a 12
month period I suggest you also specify heating and cooling design days for
equipment sizing. If you don't use design days I believe equest will
autosize based on the 3-4 day simulation period you specify.
regards,
